The answer to this is really simple. Just pay workers more. More to the truckers, and more to the port workers. Magically, the problem will vanish.
Moron. Economics isn't that simple. Example. Pay more to do heart surgery. Will heart surgery waiting lists magically reduce? Maybe some but it won't add all those needed surgical teams rooms and equipment and donors
While one of the reasons for the mess is that many left the workforce and need incentives to come back, the current situation is like a traffic jam. Even if the road is cleared, the congestion continues because nobody can move as long as not everybody else moves.
I'm sure we've all seen the famous graph showing wages decoupling from productivity since the 70s? I'm sure this has nothing to do with that finally manifesting it's inevitable outcome. And now the corps's are finally talking about raising the wages, but using that to justify just getting rid of the workers. And all while insanely trying to push an injection that's probably going to kill an absurd amount of those no longer needed workers...oh, and also while the fed announced 0% fractional reserve banking. I'd really encourage everyone to get out of large population centers, dig a well, store up firewood and learn to grow your own food...
The answer is even simpler: Force Commiefornia to allow owner operators and trucks from 2011 or older.
And what, lose money?
